Week in Review: Art Project

September 14 - 18, 2020

Monday: People like use know in our bones that the over sexualization of our culture and the obsessively partisan nature of our public discourse are not liberating but confining.

Tuesday: We forget it’s edgy potential because we have submitted art to the realm of pure consumption. It’s entertainment. It seeks ratings. And likes. And profit.

Wednesday: But maybe the hardest (and best) thing about saying you’re a creative is the follow-up statement, “And I made this!”

Thursday: Being an artist, a creative, a producer of beautiful things, is not always about making more stuff. Sometimes it’s noticing the art that is embedded in your everyday encounters that otherwise goes unnoticed.

Friday: The art of living is the long journey of making sense of the "colorful swirls" that we’ve been given. And that journey has at least one goal: self-knowledge or self-understanding.
